1) preview resources with students before approving the topic
2) have students turn in a website evaluation form for every website used
3) have students tell WHY they chose the sources that they used
Plagiarism can be a tricky concept for students. Drew University provides some good examples of unintentional plagiarism.
Show these to your students. Start the conversation.
